    I have this coin of year 1973, but Krause catalogue shows it was issued only in 1975, can somebody help me if it is an error or mule or what?

    Sorry, not going to wait for all those other images to load before I try to locate the coin in the the the egypt, morroco, tunis, sudan group.

    If you want to ask about a particular coin post a picture of that coin.

    (while I wrote this the pictures are still loading and it still hasn't gotten to the egypt, sudan, morroco, tunis picture.)

    Your 1973 coin is the KM 434 mule. It should weigh only 2 grams while the 1975 coins should weigh 4 grams (per Krause) Congratulations the mule is scarce.

    Thank you so much, :) but both coins are absolutely same, and quite small so both must be 2 grams exactly, Can not be 2 and 4

    Sorry for asking but are you sure the obverse and reverse are of the same coin?

    That is the point. A mule error is a coin with the obverse of obe design and the reverse of a different denomination.

    I think Wd40 is asking if the IMAGES of the obv and rev are of the same coin.

    My comment on the weight was references from what the Krause catalog says, but there are so many errors creeping into the catalog today that could be an error in the catalog. I still think your 1973 coin is KM 434. and the 1975 is KM 445.

    Yes, The pictures are of the same coin. Actually i had 3 extra pieces of km445, i did not care the year earlier. I made the scans in a hurry to upload on my blog (coinzzy.blogspot.com). Later when i was updating my swaplist (text form), I realized this. I have removed that coin from here to my collection now.
